An experienced data scientist working to improve health and policy.

Originally trained as a computer scientist and computational biologist, my career has led to multidisciplinary partnerships with economists, doctors, and policymakers to solve challenges in human health and public policy. Currently, I serve as the Director of Research and Technology for the not-for-profit organization Research Improving People's Lives. I recieved my M.S. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley.

Disrupting HIV Transmission

The actual transmission network between HIV-infected individuals is unknown, but gene sequencing of new infections can reveal patterns of transmission. I serve as the bioinformatician on an NIH-funded project to use these patterns to help public health officials disrupt HIV transmission.
